Best Places to Stream Haunted Mansion (2023) –

Can Disney turn around what could be described as a difficult year with the 2023 Haunted Mansion? While it’s slightly wild to call movies that grossed hundreds of millions of dollars failures, Disney is no doubt looking to their 2nd theatrical take on one of their most iconic rides to pull them back from the brink of a situation that occurs when spending $300 million on a single film. Surprisingly, Haunted Mansion looks like it could actually be a lot of fun. The buzz surrounding the movie seems to be picking up momentum, leading many to wonder where they can watch Haunted Mansion online.

Helmed by Dear White People writer/director Justin Simien, Haunted Mansion will open in theaters on July 28th, 2023. The movie could serve to remind audiences of films like Pirates of the Caribbean, well-cast and well-made epics that draw from what makes the source material amusement park rides fun to begin with. It’s the sort of movie that is perhaps best enjoyed on a large theater screen, but you won’t have to wait very long to see the movie on VOD, streaming, or even physical media.

You can expect Haunted Mansion to be in theaters for 45 days or so. This could change if the movie is particularly unsuccessful at the box office, but Disney is more likely than not going to keep the traditional theatrical window for this one. Around the second week of September is when we would guess you’ll see Haunted Mansion on VOD. While Disney may be phasing out physical media, we’re going to imagine that won’t happen with Haunted Mansion. Meaning you’ll be able to purchase the movie on Blu-ray and DVD around the third or fourth week of September.

Disney+ has been experiencing a purge in content lately, but it’s still the main destination for all major studio releases. Keeping this in mind, we can safely assume that Haunted Mansion will come to Disney’s premier streaming service approximately four months after its theatrical release, as this has been the path for most of Disney’s biggest efforts. That means you’ll be able to watch Haunted Mansion on Disney+ by the end of November at the very latest.

About Haunted Mansion

With a large, talented cast, a good screenwriter (Katie Dippold), an excellent director, and a budget of only $157 million (less than Dial of Destiny or Elemental at least), Haunted Mansion seems poised to offer audiences a good, straightforward comedy blockbuster for the summer movie season. The movie is obviously based on the iconic Disney ride, which has been adapted in the past into an unfortunate 2003 Eddie Murphy vehicle and a very good 2021 Muppets special.

The 2023 Haunted Mansion will offer a straightforward story for its big budget horror comedy premise. A single mom (Rosario Dawson) and her young son (Chase W. Dillon) enlist a group of paranormal experts (including Danny DeVito, Tiffany Haddish, LaKeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, and Jamie Lee Curtis) to help them clear their home of paranormal entities. Supernatural hijinks naturally ensue.

No doubt there’s a bit more to the plot, but honestly, for the sort of silly, technically brilliant experience you’re hoping to have with Haunted Mansion, do you really need anything more to go check it out for yourself?
